TO ALL WHOM IT MAY OQNCERN:

Be it known that I, SAMUELB. STEWART, of Brush Valley, in the county of Indiana, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the-accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my stove, and

Figure 2 a plan of its lower portion, with the upper portion removed.

The nature of this-invention consists in constructing the lower section of a cylindrical stove in segments, with the joints between said segments covered with metal. plates or strips, substantially in the manner hereinafter described.

To enable others to enjoy the benefits of my invention, I will now describe its construction.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the lower section of my stove, formed of four segments of cast iron. These segments will be bound together in the manner hereinafter described. 7

l3 designates the base, upon which section A rests, the said base being furnished with grating,- through which the cinders can pass, from the open bottom of section A, into a drawer, c, with which base, B, is furnished.

cl represents a concave metal plate or strip, there being one of said strips 'covering each joint formed by the segments in A. The concave plates d will have their concaved sides inwards, and be confined in place by the upper section of the stove, which will also bind the segments of section A, and keep them in position. The

convex rim of stove A, which restson base B, will have four vertical slots or openings in it, as shown in dotted lines in fig. 1. Into these slots the lower ends of plates dwill enter.

0 represents the upper section of. my stove, which is made to fit over the top of section A and strips or plates cl, as mentioned above.

The object of so constructing my stove is to prevent its being cracked by the heat. Near the bottom of section A is an opening for the admission of air. freprcsents the door, placed'near the lower endiof section 0. that I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-' The lower section A, constructed as described, in combination with the metal plates or strips dd and upper section C, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claimthe foregoing as myown, I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
